I don't see why you would want to stretch with those widths and offsets. You're just going to get some tire bubbles that you will regret later on. Unless you are going with some fat spacers. Falkens tend to fail so I would go with Yokohama. But I have no personal experience with Yokohama.

your sizes / offsets arent all that aggressive, shouldnt be needing to run stretched. =\

Those specs would fit an ES300. I've seen IS300's running 10's in the rear with around 25 offset. Not saying you need to go that low, but it's not even going to be flush.
